This Lao restaurant is well known amongst Leo people, for such delicacies as stuffed frogs legs (sounds weird but would appeal to the western appetite), deep fried quail. If that sounds too weird, try the special fish soup, pounded-beef, and pickled veggies (and maybe try to get out a bit more).

 

Invite all your friends along because it’s the kind of place you order a few dishes and try a bit of everything. All the traditional larp and tamakhung (papaya salad) is excellent. The menu is unfortunately very unappealing. Best not to look at the pictures and just order the above mentioned specialties - just take my word for it - it’s a risk worth taking.

 

The actual restaurant looks very ordinary; clean and tiled, with half of it oddly sectioned off with air-conditioning. There isn’t much in the way of drinks or dessert - it is unadulterated Lao food, without having to compromise by trying to appeal to the western clientele. While it’s too pricey for the average Lao (why pay for food you can cook at home?), it is must for any falang serious about trying Lao food.

 

 

Veggie Options: as with any lao food, very limited, sorry! You'll have to order a plate of fried veggies and rice. The pickled veggies are good too.
